Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A flashlight ( 1 ) having a control unit ( 4 ) with a push button ( 12 ) for activating the flashlight ( 1 ). The control unit ( 4 ) connects to a computer via USB port, whereby user-configurable control information is downloaded. A computer program running on the computer enables operating conditions of the flashlight to be selected by a user according to predetermined types of activation e.g. of the push button ( 12 ). The operating conditions are collated into operating instructions associated with the predetermined types of activation. The operating instructions are converted into byte code and downloaded to and stored on a memory in the control unit ( 4 ). Upon detecting a predetermined activation type, the control unit accesses the operating conditions and configures the flashlight accordingly.
